Enter key as select/submit button

M

Morris Neuman

Hi,

I have a page with a dropdownlist (dropdownlist1), a textbox (textbox1), a
submit button(submit1) and a gridview (gridview1).

Currently if the user enter a value in textbox1 then must click the submit1
button for the gridview1 to display the data.

Is there a way to set-up the enter key to display the data selected in
textbox1 instead of havint to click on the submit button?

Hi Morris,

I think you can set the defaultbutton of the form to do this:

<form id="form1" runat="server" defaultbutton="Button1" >
<asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" Text="Button" />

If you're using Master page you can try this in the content page:

Aspx.cs:
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
this.Page.Form.DefaultButton = this.Button1.UniqueID;
}

Aspx:
<asp:Content ID="Content2" ContentPlaceHolderID="ContentPlaceHolder1"
runat="server">

<asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" Text="Button"
onclick="Button1_Click" />

</asp:Content>

Please have a try and let me know if it works.
